What is Life Insurance?

Life insurance is a financial safety net for your loved ones when your time comes. Upon your passing the life insurance policy pays a benefit to someone who you have designated to receive the money; this person is called a beneficiary. Your beneficiary can use that money to pay your funeral costs, settle your outstanding debts or cover living expenses during his or her time of need.

There are many different types of life insurance – Term Life, Whole Life, life insurance with living benefits and so on – and you can take out multiple policies if you wish. Some policies will pay benefits to you before you die, by either reaching a certain age or if you were to be diagnosed with a critical illness (cancer, heart attack, stroke etc.). Many people use life insurance as a form of long term investment as well.

When the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, was first enacted, many states (and other groups) attempted to fight the law, or at least specific provisions.

The open enrollment period for 2016-2017 has drawn to a close, leaving the vast majority of Americans covered, but it’s anyone’s guess where the nation will be in terms of health insurance this time next year. With a new president in office, it’s natural to expect some changes, but President Trump has vowed to dismantle […]

This is not an easy question to answer because there are so many variables involved in determining an individual life insurance policy, as with almost any form of insurance. Auto insurance, for example, is based partially on the make, model, year, and value of the car you drive. However, even if you and your neighbor […]

There are a couple of reasons why most adults put off researching life insurance options. For one thing, it can seem like an unnecessary expense when you’re a healthy twenty-something with a limited income, and truly, your risk of death is probably fairly low.
